Gratitude Post!
I want to give a massive shoutout to my wonderful mother who dropped everything this weekend to re-(re-re-)read RAELIA for me, double-checking the final proofing and picking up any last minute mistakes.

Either I’m elbows-deep in writing a novel or something writing-related like editing/proofing etc., or I’m lost to the wonderful world of reading. I can’t do both at once… I can’t, like, write for…
